PI Response - BBSRC Specific Guidance

Your response should be clearly presented and concise, using a minimum font size of 11 point (Arial or equivalent sans serif font) and margins of at least 2cm.  The response should be presented in A4 page format. A maximum of one page is permitted in response to each review.

The comment you attach (in Word or pdf format) is in response to all reviews received. A subsequent response to any late reviews must retain the response text on all earlier reviews and not exceed the specified page limit. If you wish to amend the content of your response attachment, you will need to remove the existing copy and upload a new version.

Should you consider that a response to a particular reviewer is not required, you should include a page stating that “A response to reviewer XXXXX is not required”. You should not select the option “I have read the reviews and do not wish to respond” unless you wish to decline to respond to all reviews.

Unless specified otherwise, you have up to 23:59 on the due date to submit the document.
